that NBR dude Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Probably the last surviving Rockman Maladie, however it is my 2nd Maladie frame. Had one a few years ago and really liked it so got another to get back into riding. Not ridden in around 2 years so it's a bit of a shock to the system. So seeing as trials seems to have moved on a little bit since I was heavily into it, I shall "try" my best to list some kind of a spec... Rockman Maladie Frame Echo Urban forks Shitmano Deore front disc 2004 Magura HS33 rear with Try-all Crocco yellows Onza Ronnie / Reggie rims with Onza sealed hubs Onza sticky finger tyres (but have a set of Monty Eagle claws to go on) Onza cranks with Tensile freewheel Some unknown stem Try-all bars It's not the greatest spec in the world and some stuff is quite old skool but it's enough to get me going and get stuff upgraded over time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brettoll Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 That is lovely, I have been on the hunt for one of those frames forever and they are as rare as hell now. Look forwards to seeing it upgraded over time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Gething Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Wheelbase - 1030mm Chainstay - 363mm BB Rise - +85 Weight - 1.55kg Wow, much longer than I had expected. How does it ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted December 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Well I seem to recall from my first Maladie that they ride really nicely, however that was about 2 maybe 3 years ago! They are a bit of a barge but with the BB rise they are still fairly flickable. I've only just got back onto this one from a 2 year break so hard to say really but I'm feeling quite comfortable on it so far and was starting to get back to how I used to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Gething Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Must be decent then if you are getting back to how you used to be already Does the rear have a grind on it or not? Can't tell from the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted December 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Oh trust me I wasn't very good to begin with I was much better at the moral support than the actual riding! Yeah got a grind on the rear, not a very good one but its better than nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROYston Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Please please please dont snap it! The best Rockman to be made by far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Maybe I should auction it off to the highest bidder while it's still in pretty decent condition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
